DUANE YORK

My name is Duane York and I teach Math at Wanda R. Smith High School. I count it as a privelege to have taught at Keene ISD for the past 32 years. That's right, this is year #33 of being a Keene Charger. I graduated in 1981 from SWAU in Keene with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education. I am also certified to teach High School Math. Below, I have some info that might help your child be successful in their math class this year. Let's take a look...

Laugh at Mr. York's jokes once in awhile. It makes him think that you are listening.
